Wheeler addressed the convention for
an hour. reviewing at length the atti.
tuds Of parties toward temperance,
and setting forth the objects of the
Prohibition party. Under direction
Of the state committee, DR.. /. K
Funk, of Brooklyn, was made temper
ary chairman, and addressed the con-
vention.
Chairman Wheeler, in his speech,
said that President Cleveland was
making manly fight to be President
of the whole Democratic party, and
he was succeeding fairly we'll. Since
1884 the prohibition vote had been in
creased by 10000 votes In this state.
The increase, he said, would keep 60

be heard, "We're coming Father Alb
raham, 3O0,0 strong" The moral
forces Of the two big parties were play
ing see-saw on the liquor question.
Each contained within its ranks q
powerful rum majority. They were
afraid to take up the liquor question.
The Republican party had betrayed
the temperance trust reposed in it by
the people. As for the Democratic
party it pleaded guilty to the crime Of
aiding in the perpstustlon of the 81
loon and the saloon system, and the
fight Of the Prohibitionists with that
party was on square and open basis.

LANG, august y, 1857.
EDITOR HERALD We'll knowing
the HERALD to be the early bird, and
alwa. ready to publish good news,
will give very brief sketch of the
doings in this vicinity. The great
excitement and interest now is being
centered in mining, new discoveries
being made almost daily. The fact is
now patent that the bowels of the
earth hereabouts are very rich in the
precious metals. Rich gold and silver
leads are being found at depths of
from 35 to 100 feet and widening as we'll
as growing richer the deeper they go.
The opinion of practical miners has
always been that so much evidence
on the surface mnst mean heavy
deposits under ground, and they have
beeu acting on this opinion of late,
and fully proven their judgments cor
rect. The mines certainly appear to
be fabulously rich. Parties have
shown me silver ore that assays all

like mining in earnest. Capitalists
no doubt can find a paying field open
for them here that will be much more
remunerative than laying out new
towns. Parties are now in Los An
geles making purchases and prepar-
ing for big works. Everything GER
tainly looks very promising. l notice
Governor Stoneman reports Mills and
Jones as having metals enough in
their Doufilas Island mines to pay of
the national debt. 1t looks now as
though they could be helped out here
much nearer home. In the judgment
OF all these mines here will prove to
be permanent and inexhaustible

will rule in accordance with the con-
stitution, and with an intent to pro-

OF the people, concluding with "Long
live free and independent Bulgaria. !"
